Taste Profile

• First Third: It starts with creamy vanilla, honey, and wood flavors. Coffee, fruits, leather, and dark chocolate are dominant, with cedar in the background and a touch of ammonia. The burn is good, and it produces much smoke.
• Second Third: The ammonia disappears, and it becomes sweeter. Honey, vanilla, and coffee are main flavors, with cedar and earth in the background. It burns slightly unevenly but still draws well.
• Last Third: The body turns medium to full, and flavors like bitter chocolate, earth, leather, and cedar become prominent. The sweeter flavors subside, but it remains enjoyable until the end.

Each cigar costs around $8. With age, it may further refine its flavors and reduce harshness. It offers a great smoking experience for its size.
